OMG! You are taking it back. Those were the days. I wish somebody would have a real old school ball and bring all of the old school people out to just perform. They don't even have to battle; just perform and enjoy the night. That would be hot.
3:59 WOW. Who could watch this and not be gagged, bewildered, amazed, and moved to tears? Ballroom is such a beautiful form of self expression. It's as moving as ballet but has an element of street swagger at the same time. For lack of a better word, it's just so fucking cool.
I love the ballroom scene , thanks to youtube, I found out about ballroom through ballroom throwbacks, and that led me down a rabbit hole of magic, culture, swag. Ballroom culture is the epitome of African American culture , specifically lgbt African Americans in New York, I’m obsessed with the styles of the fem queens, each one has such a unique style of vogue and it is truly amazing to watch this history ❤
You can't be serious! In everything, CONTEXT is important. I think you may be judging ALYSSA'S performance during that time though a present day lens. That won't work. ALYSSA is a pioneer of VOGUE FEM; helping to make the transition from OLD WAY to VOGUE FEM! What you see now is obviously going to be different from the performance genre of 1996; VOGUE FEM has evolved! But her hand performance and OLD WAY/VOGUE FEM combination is not now neither will it ever be B- [B minus]! Peace and love...
This is taking me WAY BACK... Back to the days when Marco Diamonte was making the transition into Monica Ebony. Where is Monica these days? I have some photos I'm sure she'll remember. LOL! Throwback!

Is any with that LV, over the shoulder, strap bag? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Linda Listen!!
Alyssa is my favorite fem queen, but she didn't carry the way she should have. But she still ate it!
OMG!!!! That's right....Marco Diamante, making the transition. Remember when both Monica and Niambi where Vitadinni?
Was Monica Revlon a Vittadini at the time? Cos that's what it sounds like Eric is chanting when she is getting her 10s.
It was very much Vittadini! At this time they had Niambi, Lil Kim, Monica, and so many other Femme Queens aside a few BQ's. If was am exiting time.
@@jdub7775 Lil Kim Revlon?
What about Twizzler or was she a mizrahi
That girl ate Alyssa up. It was a nice battle.
Is that Sinia asking for her to pull up so she can feel it?
Looking for this video ’s soundtrack, please, someone can help me ? title, track, artist, mix…
The Ha Masters @ Work by Louie Vega

The girlz kill me they give so much life to Alyssa but her vouge is truly B- at best. Just a prime example that attitude takes you a long way.
